Very interesting tree and a good presentation of it. It sure looks like a big bottle. My eyes kept jumping to the people in the background so maybe they should be removed for the photo. Thanks for the great information.

Thanks so much, deliberated about the people but left them in as I thought it gave perspective to size of tree. :) Mary

I have never seen a tree like this one. It reminds me of a bowling pin. I like the people in the picture as they help me to view the trees true size.

Thanks so much, I left the person in after deliberating, thought it gave a good way to see the size and girth of tree. It was taken in the Adelaide Botanical Gardens, South Australia :) Mary

Really nice photo of this unusual tree. Good angle of the shot and nice, clear image. Wonderful background color of the trees and good focal point. Well Done.
